The War Zone
The flashes of light
The darkness of night
My eyes won’t turn away
From this strangely beautiful sight
Thunder roars and shakes my bed
The war zone is breaking loose
Tons of thought fill my head
But none run clear to count
Lights are flickering
Fear fills the minds of the fearful
Who knows nothing of this battle
To which not I fight
But is fought over me
Could I count the casualties
No not one
For that realm is unspoken,
Untouched and misunderstood
Yet one day when it’s over
It is I who will rise to victory
For I have already chosen the winning side
And I stand unshaken
